Release Listening Party
RSVP
Celeste
Ben Domanico-Huh, David Moses, Midden & Simon Bridgestock
Chromesthesia, or sound-to-color synesthesia, is a condition in which sound involuntarily evokes experiences of color, shape, or movement. Releases in this series are artifacts of remote, improvised performances over the internet by members of the Exposure Therapy collective.
For this album, four members of the Exposure Therapy collective improvised together remotely, each responding to the color celeste. Named for the sky it mirrors, celeste has stood for the heavens in painting, poetry, and ritual, a color of air, distance, and things just out of reach.

Evan Hardy is a multi-instrumentalist and sound artist whose work draws from his background in archaeology, shaping compositions that unfold through layering, accumulation, and erosion. Working across acoustic instruments, found objects, modular synthesis, and tape, he creates evolving electroacoustic pieces that move between structure and improvisation.

Simon Bridgestock

He has worked in a wide variety of musical contexts that encompass Jazz, Psyche-Rock, Electronica and more, usually with a focus on using improvisation to generate ideas.
